The Latin American Axis of Evil
From: jkarteaga, 1 month ago
Axis of Evil? We need to be well informed to make our own minds up!
Slide comments in English are as follows:
1 I might not agree with them, but…
2 Do you know who is president of Guatemala? of El Salvador? of Honduras?
Do you know how many TV stations have been shut down in these countries?
Why does this not make the headlines?
3 Did you know that two TV stations were shut down in Peru?
Did you know that was in April 2007?
If you look at the map, you'll see that the "Venezuelan dictatorship" is right next door...
Why did this not make headlines?
4 Did you know that in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) over 400 women have been raped and murdered?
Did you know that some of them are 12-year-old girls?
Did you know that journalists investigating these crimes are being killed?
Why does this not make headlines?
5 Did you know that Fox’s election campaign (for president of Mexico) was funded by illegal drug money?
Maybe the crimes of Ciudad Juárez are not being investigated because the rapists and murderers are the
ones who provide funding …
Why does this not make headlines?
6 Did you know that indigenous people are murdered in Chiapas (Mexico) every day?
Why does this not make headlines?
7 Did you know that cyanide and mercury from western multinational companies poison the Central
American rivers that provide the population’s drinking water?
Why does this not make headlines?
8 Did you know that the Colombian government and multinational companies have been funding
paramilitaries?
Yes, my friend; STATE CRIMES!
Why does this not make headlines?
9 These are just a few (very few) examples of Latin-American reality
Don't let them do your thinking for you! [logos of tve, cope, antena3, elmundo.es, cuatro, cadenaSer,
telecinco, elpais.com]
10 Still want more?
11 Did you ever see "communication" media criticize "Corte Inglés" [a big retail chain]? (The banner strung
across the "El Corte Inglés" logo reads: "Capital is exploitative – intermittent workers are rebelling")
12 Did you know that "Zara" [the fashion chain] kill labour unionists in Asia?
13 Still want more? Search for information on your own initiative; don’t wait for big business to feed it to you.
Don’t let big economies and big companies filter and distort reality and truth.
14 fight reflect think investigate participate get involved criticize act insist be active be critical express
yourself move find out the truth defend yourself resist
15 … but above all else: pass this on!
